I had a German army one with a waterproof back, slèeves and a handy zip that meant you could have a crap without taking the whole thing off. Sadly it was one of the things that got lost when ae moved. It was ideal for night watching in the pheasant season.

Aye that’s the one I’m sure, does it have zip across waist so you can tuck legs part up your back, an sleeves, good bit kit on a cold night fishing ?

Handy when you got to do a runner ? had the old waxed German job as a nipper??

Aye thats the one, have had it for years, used it for camping when away on the motorbike if the weather was decent didn't even pitch the tent. 

Sit drinking and smoking round the campfire and just tuck your legs in and zip it up and your in bed lol.

Looks like the same as I had. They are a bit too bulky and heavy for hiking unless you were hiking back from the Russian Front in 1945 that is. Ideal for laying out in the woods waiting for poachers though. One of those and a poncho strung over it was ideal.

I had an American Army poncho made for rubberised material that is 100% waterproof, but not breathable so better as a tarp. A mouse got into my van a few years ago and ruined it. Last week I bought a job lot of fishing stuff and found an jdentical, as new, one in the bag. It is useful for when I'm fishing a long way from the car as it is lighter and more compact than a brolly. The poncho and a ball of nylon cord does the job.

      I want to purchase a pair of boots for the colder weather, I do a lot of walking, and some trekking about the hillsides and trails. I do not want "winter boots" but rather boots that would be suitable for a cold day, but would work with layers of socks rather than thick heavy boots. Several people have told me Meindl is an excellent brand, and that is great, but what kind ? Hiking ? Walking ? Do they make them that they would serve the purpose mentioned above ? Any specifics to look for in a boot for this purpose ?
      Thank you in advance,
      Lynn

      Sorry gentlemen to bother you, but I have come to my wits end. My neighbour across the way lets her dog roam as it please when it comes to shitting and urination, she is too lazy to actually take the dog out herself. He seems to have taken to my property and a certain area just under my bedroom window. I do not want to hurt the dog for the sake of her ignorance, but I do very much need to stop him from doing it any longer. The grass and  the shrubs are dying and turning brown and the flowers are just rank with smell that floats up through my bedroom window.
      He is a VERY OVERWEIGHT beagle and leaves behind some damn good deposits.
      I am wondering short of doing something stupid, what can I do to deter the dog from that area or any patches of garden I have? I plan to go to the council about the problem, and lay some of it on the town manager who is an acquaintance of mine, but in the meantime, any tricks out there to make my flowers and bushes unsavoury.
      Thank you in advance,
      Lynn
